Female founders of DTC companies: do you have a product people need to know about? Especially in the last few years, we've heard a lot of talk about wanting to support female founders and women in tech. To be candid, for some, it's just talk, but for most others, it can be hard to transform good intention into meaningful action every day. In the next two weeks, I'll be releasing a curated gift guide that celebrates and promotes incredible must-have products from female-founded brands. 🎁💪 This guide is a small way to support women and give people a tangible way to put their dollars behind female entrepreneurs. From beauty and wellness to home goods and fashion — if it's amazing, I want to hear about it. 💌 Drop your product names in the comments, tag a DTC female founder, or send me a message. #Women #FemaleFounders #GiftGuide #ShopFemaleFounded #womenshealth #timeisnow #putyourdollarstowork
